Tabriz, Magnificence of Heaven, Radiance of Empyrean (An Interpretation of one verse of Mowlana’s Mathnavi)
Abbas Mahyar
Abstract:   (6074 Views)

This paper presents a new description of "Tabriz" in one verse of  Mathnavi, Volume 6. The story begins with the journey of a poor man (Darvish) to Tabriz working for a loan from an official. Molana composes the poem from the point of view of this man about "Tabriz" and its residents. The poem reads : God`s empyrean mercy awarded to "Tabriz", the heaven on the earth, and whole residents.  In this paper, attempts are made to examine this claim of Molana based on historical documents and religious scholars’ views through adopting a library investigation mode of research. Interpretations are based of direct meanings of words.

Keywords: Tabriz, Heaven, Empyrean, Mowlavi, Mathnavi
